Description
This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 07/293,417, filed Jan. 4, 1989 now abandoned.
The present invention relates to a semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same and, more particularly, to a semiconductor device a part of which is formed on a substrate of a first semiconductor by using a second semiconductor material having an energy gap larger than that of the first semiconductor, and a method of manufacturing the same.
A conventional semiconductor device a part of which is formed on a substrate of a first semiconductor by using a second semiconductor material having an energy gap larger than that of the first semiconductor and a method of manufacturing the same have the following drawbacks.
(1) Since the conventional semiconductor device has a structure wherein a second semiconductor is exposed on a surface of the device, wiring operations and the like must be performed for the first and second semiconductors, respectively. For example, in a silicon heterojunction bipolar transistor in which a base and a collector are formed on a silicon substrate, and an emitter of a compound semiconductor having an energy gap larger than that of silicon is formed thereon, since the material of the emitter is different from that of the base and collector, a wiring material and a wiring method suitable for each element must be applied. Therefore, the manufacturing steps such as wiring are complicated.
(2) Since the second semiconductor is exposed on the surface during manufacturing, impurity contamination is undesirably caused by the second semiconductor such as a material for the emitter, and hence a first semiconductor (e.g., silicon) process line cannot be used after the second semiconductor is formed.
(3) Since an electron barrier is formed on the interface between the first and second semiconductors, a contact resistance is increased and the characteristics of the device are undesirably degraded. In order to eliminate the above drawbacks, for example, in the silicon heterojunction bipolar transistor, in order to form an ohmic contact with an emitter formed using a material such as a compound semiconductor having a large energy gap, an impurity is heavily doped in a contact portion with an emitter electrode material by ion implantation, or a wiring material for the emitter must be varied from that for the base and collector.
According to the above method, however, since the activation ratio of the impurity doped in the emitter material having a large energy gap is limited, a contact resistance is not sufficiently decreased.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same, wherein the above drawbacks of the prior art can be eliminated, simple processes can be used without selecting different wiring materials and different wiring steps for first and second semiconductors, impurity contamination caused by the second semiconductor can be prevented, and a contact resistance of an ohmic contact can be sufficiently small.
A method of manufacturing the semiconductor device according to the present invention comprises the steps of: forming a first part of the semiconductor device of a first semiconductor material on a substrate of the first semiconductor material; forming, on the first part, a second part of the semiconductor device of a second semiconductor material having an energy gap larger than that of the first semiconductor material; forming a film of the first semiconductor material on the second part; ion-implanting an element into the surface portion of the second part or at the interface of the second part and the film and the periphery portion of the interface; and forming electrodes for the first and second parts.
A heterojunction bipolar transistor according to the present invention comprises a collector and a base of a first semiconductor material which are formed on a substrate of the first semiconductor material, an emitter of an n- or p-type second semiconductor material having an energy gap larger than that of the first semiconductor material and formed on the base, and a film of the first semiconductor material formed on the emitter and having the same conductivity type as that of the emitter.
The first semiconductor film consisting of the same material as that of the substrate is formed on the second semiconductor having a large band gap, so that the second semiconductor is not exposed on the surface during manufacturing and impurity contamination caused by the second semiconductor can be prevented. Therefore, a wiring material for the first semiconductor can be the same as that for the second semiconductor and hence the number of manufacturing steps such as wiring step can be reduced.
Since the band gap of the first semiconductor film is smaller than that of the second semiconductor, an ohmic contact is easily formed, thus reducing a contact resistance.
An element to be ion-implanted into the interface of the first semiconductor film and the second semiconductor is selected as an element which forms a compound with an element constituting the second semiconductor, the compound having a band gap smaller than that of the second semiconductor, so that the band gap at the interface is continuously decreased, thus easily forming an ohmic contact. Furthermore, by ion implantation, an electron barrier caused by an oxide film or the like at the interface is subjected to mixing, so that the contact resistance can be reduced.
In addition, an element to be ion-implanted into the interface of the first semiconductor film and the second semiconductor is selected as an impurity element which has the same conductivity type as that of the second semiconductor, so that electrons easily tunnel through the barrier at the interface, thus reducing a contact resistance.

FIGS. 1(A) to 1(D) are sectional views showing a method of manufacturing a silicon heterojunction bipolar transistor according to an embodiment of the present invention.
In FIG. 1(A), phosphorus ions are implanted in a p-type silicon substrate 1 having a resistivity of 10 Ω·cm at a dose of 1×1012 /cm2 and an acceleration voltage of 150 keV. Thermal diffusion is performed in a nitrogen atmosphere at 1,100° C. for 30 hours, thus forming an n-type collector 2. Then, boron ions are implanted in the n-type collector 2 at a dose of 1×1014 /cm2 and an acceleration voltage of 30 keV. The annealing is performed at 950° C. for 20 minutes, thereby forming a p-type base 3. A 5,000 -Å thick silicon oxide film 4 having an opening for forming an emitter is deposited on the silicon substrate 1 on which the collector 2 and the base 3 are formed, thus forming an emitter region 10. In FIG. 1(B), a 3,000 -Å thick film of n-type gallium phosphide (GaP) having an energy gap larger than that of silicon is selectively grown in the emitter region 10 on the silicon substrate 1 by epitaxial growth using trichlorogallium and phosphine at 450° C., thus forming an emitter 5. Then, a 500 -Å thick polysilicon film 6 is deposited on the emitter 5 so as to cover the emitter 5. In FIG. 1(C), arsenic ions are implanted at a concentration of 5×1015 /cm3 and an acceleration voltage of 80 keV so that the concentration peak of the arsenic ions appears on the interface between GaP of the emitter 5 and the silicon film 6, thus forming an ion-implanted layer 9. Rapid thermal annealing is performed in a nitrogen atmosphere at 850° C. for 5 seconds. In the emitter 5 side, arsenic ions are replaced with phosphorus ions and a GaPAs crystal is obtained, thus decreasing an energy gap. In the silicon 6 side, arsenic ions serve as an n-type dopant and an ohmic contact is easily formed.
Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 1(D), a wiring layer 8 for the emitter 5 is formed through an oxide film 4 and an oxide film 7 formed thereon, together with formation of wiring layers 10 and 11 corresponding to the collector 2 and the base 3.
As described above, according to a method of manufacturing the semiconductor device of the present embodiment, the polysilicon film 6 is formed on the emitter 5 of GaP, so that the GaP emitter 5 is not exposed on the surface during manufacturing and impurity contamination caused by the GaP emitter 5 can be prevented. Therefore, a process line for Si devices can be used. In addition, since the GaP emitter 5 is covered by the polysilicon film 6, separate wiring steps are not required, and the manufacturing steps can be reduced.
FIG. 2 is a chart showing band diagram in a contact portion between the emitter 5 and the polysilicon film 6 of the transistor shown in FIG. 1. Arsenic ions are implanted in the emitter 5 of GaP having a large energy gap and annealing is performed, so that some of phosphorus ions are substituted by arsenic ions and GaPAs is produced. Therefore, the energy gap on the interface is continuously decreased. Arsenic ions are also heavily implanted in polysilicon film 6, and the aluminum wiring layer 8 side of the silicon film 6 consists of aluminum silicide, thus achieving a good ohmic contact.
In addition, an electron barrier caused by an oxide film or the like on the interface is subjected to mixing, so that the contact resistance can be reduced.
Therefore, according to the present embodiment, an ohmic contact is easily formed as compared with direct deposition of a metal on gallium phosphide having a large gap.
FIGS. 3(A) to 3(C) are sectional views showing another embodiment of manufacturing steps of a heterojunction bipolar transistor according to the present invention.
In FIG. 3(A), phosphorus and boron ions are implanted in a p-type silicon substrate 25 having a resistivity of 10 Ω·cm, at a dose of 1×1012 /cm2 and an acceleration voltage of 150 keV, and at a dose of 1×1014 /cm2 and an acceleration voltage of 30 keV, respectively. Then, annealing is performed and an n-type collector 24 and a p-type base 23 are formed. Thereafter, an n-type gallium phosphide film serving as an emitter material having a large energy gap is deposited by epitaxial growth so that an emitter 21 is formed. In FIG. 3(B), silicon ions are implanted in the surface of the emitter 21 at a dose of 1×1014 /cm2 so that electrons can tunnel through the electron barrier between gallium phosphide and silicon ions. Then, rapid thermal annealing is performed in a nitrogen atmosphere at 900° C. for 5 seconds, thus forming an ion-implanted layer 27. Then, a natural oxide film on the surface is etched by a hydrogen fluoride aqueous solution and a hydrogen chloride aqueous solution, and thereafter, a 500 -Å thick silicon epitaxial film 26 obtained by doping antimony ions at a concentration of 1×1019 /cm3 and 750° C. is formed by silicon molecular beam epitaxy. Thereafter, in FIG. 3(C), contact holes and wiring layers 28 for the base 23, the collector 24, and the emitter 21 are simultaneously formed.
